Our Time Lyrics

[Verse]
I may be dead, honey
But I was left with my eyes
And underneath, sugar
Well, I've been sunk by your lies
And my heart, baby
Is cold and blue
We're two of a kind, lately
Me and you
It's our time, sweet babe
To break on through

[Bridge]
It's the year to be hated
So glad that we made it
'Cause all the kids in the street
Whisper sounds that sweet
The stars under their feet
Well, it's the year to be hated

One, two! Ready? Go!

[Chorus]
It's our time, our time
Our time, our time
It's our time, our time
Our time to be hated
All right
To be hated
Come on
Come on, kids!

It's our time, our time
Our time, our time
It's our time, our time
It's our time to be hated
All right

[Outro]
Well, it's the year to be hated
So glad that we made it
'Cause all the kids in the street
Whisper sounds that sweet
The stars under their feet
Well, it's the year to be hated
Alright
Yeah, it's the year to be hated
Come on
Oh, it's the year to be hated
Alright
Well, it's the year to be hated

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

It was one of the earliest songs I wrote on my own. And me becoming a songwriter … it came as a complete surprise.
